This Realtor needs to start going to the gym again.
I showed 14 houses today, and every time I got to the top of the stairs; I was too winded to talk about anything notable on the 2nd floor....
I have a gym membership that I dutifully pay for every month, but it's no secret that I'd much rather sit in a booth at a nice restaurant than walk on a treadmill.
I can't claim that it's inconvenient for me to go to the gym - because it's NEXT DOOR to my office. I used to pack a gym bag along with my computer bag, purse, and file tote each morning; but after three months of it never leaving the floorboard of my car - I finally just carried the bag back inside my house. (I was excited to add that pair of yoga pants back to my sit-on-the-couch collection.)
Matt's always coming up with marketing ideas for me. The other night he suggested I train for and run a marathon - and I could sponsor a shirt or something...??? (I stopped listening when the word 'marathon' entered the conversation.) When he stopped talking, I actually reached across the table (yes we were at dinner) to feel his forehead.
"Are you delusional?" I asked. "Why don't I just build a rocket, and we could paint Tara Winfield, RE/MAX Alliance along the side, and then I could fly that into space and it would be great advertising!?! Now, please pass the bread."
Perhaps it is time to invest a little more time at the gym again. (I was really good about going for that one week last October, or maybe it was September.) It's not very fair to only ask my clients to consider single-story homes on crawl spaces. And, nobody wants to shop with a Realtor that has to exert a real effort just to exit a sunken living room.
Look for me "training" on the StairMaster at Club Fitness. I'll be the one talking to myself... practicing: "The master bedroom is to our left," and "All four bedrooms have walk-in closets."
